Head Start Boxes

Shady Grove United Methodist Church was recognized as a partner to the Hanover County Head Start Program in the 2004-2005 school year after several years of supporting the program. Annually in May, we collect specific school supplies from our members and assemble school kits for children graduating from the Head Start Program.  We have assembled between eighty and one hundred fifty school boxes each year since adopting this as a local mission opportunity.  These boxes are presented to the boys and girls when they graduate from the program in June.  Without our assistance, many of them would not have the necessary supplies to begin the next school year.  Please contact Laura Dustin for more information.
